Being new to drawing, one thing I was going to eventually have to do was “discover” my style. Well, I don’t know if I’d call it “discover”, since I thought and plotted it out. However, it’s pretty true to my identity and other things I have done in that past that was visually artistic. The drawings below illustrate my points. They are line drawings of nudes so please do not continue if you do not wish to view them or are not in a place where they can be viewed without criticism.

Finished March Madness 2016 in Top 1%
So Villanova won the Men’s March Madness Tournament in 2016 with a buzzer beater.
I had picked and was hoping for North Carolina. Getting the final result incorrect slipped me from the top 0.1 percent placing, to the top 1% placing out of about 12 million brackets in ESPN’s pool. However, it was still the best result I ever had.
President Obama’s Barackets came in the top 21%, with North Carolina saving his butt in the semi-finals to give him lots of points. He was sitting on the cusp of 50% in the previous round! It wasn’t even close this year, Mr President. 🙂
I finished 7-1 vs President Obama during his 8 years of predictions. I hope he’ll still continue once he’s out of office.
What to Do on Square Root Day for Fun
This is a bit late for today as I only recently found out about it, but perhaps you can apply it on May 5th, 2025.
Square Root Day is when the date, month and last two digits of the year can be written as a multiplication equation for a square number. Today, April 4th, 2016, is one such example with 4 x 4 = 16. The next one is May 5th, 2015 as said, and there are only 9 Square Root Days to a century.
Some people, like Scientific American, doesn’t think there’s much fun that can be had like Pi Day. Well, it depends on how you do it, and if you’ve got the personality for it. Here are some ideas for what to do for fun on Square Root Day:
- Act square (let’s see you do something that fun with a pie!)
- Get a root canal while acting square (OK, not so fun)
- Square off over the root cause of something (this can be very fun and intellectual)
- Square off over the root cause of something, with drawing squares for guns
- Root for some thing or somebody square
- Eat square stuff
- Eat from square plates or bowls, or drink any concoction from square glasses
- Make a square pie and eat that!
- Post a square photo on Instagram
If you see this and it’s still Square Root Day, get out and do something and have some fun!
Happy Square Root Day!
Take Pride in Your Work Spider-man Meme Alternative
I saw the original image on Stan Lee’s Facebook page, without Dennis the Menace. I felt it had potential for a double meaning so I added Dennis via some image from which I cropped him. I couldn’t post it as a reply on Stan Lee’s page so I figured I’d put it on my site instead.
My Idea of #WordWednesday
Each Wednesday, on my Facebook profile, I use a word I recently learned that I find interesting. For example, today I used
Can one have lethologica over lethologica?
I call it #wordwednesday, the way #throwbackthursday is used as a weekly meme. It shares something anyone could be interested in, or use. It helps me retain a word I want in my vocabulary, even if not used often due to its lack of potential practical uses (as opposed to showing off at parties). It makes for a less mundane status update than the usual daily life thing or news shared by people on newsfeeds.
Seems Dictionary.com already has a #wordwednesday hashtag used for nominating an interesting word once each week. Well, lots of people won’t agree with that. With this, though, you pick your own interesting word and it benefits you for certain.
That’s why I do my version of #wordwednesday.
If you want a resource, there are many, including Pinterest boards on words. Here’s my board on English words, as well as one on non-English words that I wished were available in English. Well, that doesn’t stop me from using them or telling others about them! Just like how English incorporate so many words from so many other languages into English, I just do it informally ahead of the day when I know it will just have to be. 🙂
Give it a try! You can do it on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram or any number of other social and less than social media. 🙂
